Enthusiasm is Contagious

By -

Enthusiasm, I believe is often contagious.  

When we are enthusiastic about something, we give off a certain energy that shines and it can be infectious.  When we see someone around us who is enthusiastic, it doesn't even matter what they are enthusiastic about; if we are in their presence it is so easy to become caught up in their energy.  

Enthusiasm is authentic,  The thing we become so excited about, so enthused by is often so insignificant to others.  

I love watching people around me when they are enthusiastic about something, what I find interesting is how, eventually,  you can often see that they feel self-conscious about their own enthusiasm.  

In the past, within my golf, I loved getting caught up in others passion and excitement about their game or progress from starting a group of lessons and I loved nothing more than having others caught up in my enthusiasm.  I think when I decided to become lady captain back in mid 2009, I was so enthusiastic that people couldn't help but become caught up in it.   

I love random interaction with people, It’s so easy to connect with people when we’re expressing feelings like enthusiasm. It creates a warmth that’s instantly uplifting and it radiates and it feels like you can catch it.  

Enthusiasm is like a fire, and for me, when someone is caught up, it’s very easy to meet them there. 

Enthusiasm comes from deep inside us, it feels good and often can completely take us over.  

When I am enthusiastic, I feel a fullness and warmth and a sense that I could do just about anything.  I get caught up and enjoy the feeling.  It makes me feel alive.

I am enthusiastic about life now, enthusiastic about moving forward.

My tunnelled line

My central line was inserted on the 16th June at Kings, central lines can also be called a skin-tunnelled central venous catheter or Hickman or even a Groshong Line. The lines are long, hollow tubes made from silicone rubber. My neck was checked several times for a suitable vein using ultrasound technology, this areas was then cleaned thoroughly with antiseptic solution.  They used a local anaesthetic to numb the area and then made a small cut in my skin near my collarbone on my right side, this is the Insertion Site.  This site was secured by stitches. The tip of the line was then gently threaded into the large vein above my heart. The other end of the line was then tunnelled under the skin and an exit area was made in my chest and secured via stitches, I was then x-rayed to ensure the line was in the correct position.  The lines (I have 2) are sealed with a bung and the lines have been heplocked to avoid clotting and are clamped during non use. This exit are...

Feeling Regrounded

By -
This afternoon, while having my first session of plasma this week, I overheard a conversation concerning an EOL (end of life) plan, the curtains are not soundproof and actually they were not even drawn properly.   The conversation upset me grately as the patient was very concerned about not upsetting her sons, ensuring her sons would be financially ok, wanting to just die in her sleep so as not to upset them and the hope of having one last cuddle with her grandson.  On leaving the ward, the patient said to me 'see you later Kiddo', I will never forget how that made me feel and will always remember the smile on her face.  On the way to the car I felt very emotional.  My thoughts racing.   It’s so much easier in life to sit outside a situation than be in it.  I cannot begin to understand how it feels to be in a position like the lady this afternoon.  This made me start thinking about life.   How many people choose the safe ...

I have not posted for a while, I was poorly and at rock bottom from October 2019 till just after Christmas and I became very withdrawn.   2020 -  I was poorly, turnt 41, had a mini break with my sister to Bath, had a lovely break in Yorkshire with my wife and our dogs.  I set out to read around 30 books and read close to 100. I spent a lot of time thinking.   In early 2020, I had a chat with an old work colleague, I still remember the times we would be silly and laugh like drains.  My old colleague is a beautiful person, an extremely talented NHS Professional and it's nice to talk about real life and the shit that's happening rather than just passing the time of day.  We both learnt things about each other and opened up a little.   I now have a beautiful little niece and I am looking forward to what 2021 brings, it's March 30th and the sun is shining and I am sat with India in the garden.  So, after spending a year in shielding and ...
